Safety Belt Reminders

Driver Safety Belt Reminder
Light

There is a driver safety belt
reminder light on the instrument
panel cluster.

When the vehicle is started, this
light flashes and a chime may come
on to remind the driver to fasten
their safety belt. Then the light stays
on solid until the belt is buckled.
This cycle may continue
several times if the driver remains
or becomes unbuckled while the
vehicle is moving.

If the driver safety belt is buckled,
neither the light nor the chime
comes on.

Passenger Safety Belt
Reminder Light

For vehicles equipped with the
passenger safety belt reminder light,
several seconds after the engine is
started, a chime sounds for
several seconds to remind the front
passenger to buckle their safety
belt. The passenger safety belt light
flashes and then stays on solid until
the belt is buckled. This cycle
continues several times if the
passenger remains or becomes
unbuckled while the vehicle is
moving.

If the passenger safety belt is
buckled, neither the chime nor the
light comes on.

The passenger safety belt reminder
light and chime may turn on if an
object is put on the seat such as a
briefcase, handbag, grocery bag,
laptop, or other electronic device. To
turn off the reminder light and/or
chime, remove the object from the
seat or buckle the safety belt.

Airbag Readiness Light

The system checks the airbag's
electrical system for possible
malfunctions. If the light stays on it
indicates there is an electrical
problem. The system check
includes the airbag sensor(s), the
pretensioners, the airbag modules,
the wiring and the crash sensing
and diagnostic module. For more
information on the airbag system,
see Airbag System on page 3‑19.
